Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggghhhhhh! Not again. Oh
well, I might as well throw
down too. I started on UNIX with vi (and in response to a way earlier thread,
not all of us started on Windoze - my first system was IBM OS-360, then on to
various others, then UNIX). When I first used vi I was blown away by the power
of the thing. Later I discovered Emacs. I switched. I still use vi if I want
to do something small very quickly (I hate waiting for Xemacs start up). If I'm
doing serious coding I use Xemacs just because it is much, much more powerful.
So, the old saw about people staying with what they know isn't always true. I
just try to use the right tool for the job. Oh, I also use ed and sed ;-)
Real Programmers use cat...
I like cat..... I don't think I could eat a whole one, but I like 'em ;-)
